68 West 132nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10037

68 West 132nd Street is a 4-story, 3-unit Class A multiple dwelling building constructed in 2000 and currently owned by Lana Fleming. The building has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024, though previous violations from 2022 and 2021 were successfully closed. These violations pertained to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The building experienced two significant incidents between 2020-2021 involving illegal use concerns, with complaints about illegal hotel rooms and illegal conversions, both of which resulted in Oath Violations being served to the owner. An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in June 2021 for failure to comply with a commissioner's order related to a 2020 violation concerning unauthorized use of the building, though this was later resolved with no penalties. The property has maintained a strong record regarding pest control in recent years, as evidenced by the regular rodent inspections conducted between 2018-2025, all of which resulted in passing grades.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance over the last two filing periods (2019-2020 and 2021-2022), with no infested or re-infested units reported in either filing. It's worth noting that the building's certificate of occupancy clearly designates it as a Class A multiple dwelling, indicating its intended use as permanent housing. The property's recent history shows improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding pest control reporting, though the 2024 bedbug report violation remains open as of the most recent data available.
